Eagle Men, Women Earn 15 USTFCCCA All-America Honors

Ashland University's men and women earned a combined 15 All-America honors from the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) on Tuesday (May 30) morning, based on their finishes at the 2017 NCAA Division II Outdoor Track & Field Championships in Bradenton, Fla.

Leading the way for the Ashland men, who finished in a tie for third place as a team, were sophomore Myles Pringle and junior Daniel Roberts, who won national titles in the 400-meter dash and the hammer throw, respectively. Each earned two first-team All-America honors – Pringle in the 400 and 4x100 relay, and Roberts in the hammer and the discus.

Representing the Ashland women's team in garnering first-team All-America honors is junior Hannah Bartlome in the high jump.

Pringle (high jump) and freshman Nick Zak (hammer) are second-team All-Americas on the men's side, as is sophomore Natalie Helenthal (hammer) on the women's side.

Student-athletes earn first-team USTFCCCA All-America status by finishing among the top 8 in their events, including as a member of a relay team. Second-team honors are earned by finishing 9th-12th in individual events, as well as finishing ninth or 10th as a member of a relay team.
